Hard to comprehend the good fortune to have met a group of kindred spirits 35(!) years ago & still be friends and still making each other laugh. Now The State is back on the road. Just as fun as always, if a bit more taxing on backs/knees/stamina. I hope we never stop.

Hard to be objective about Jen & Shakira b/c they’re both close friends. But I thought they killed it. Again, though, I see thru the filter of “those’re like, my best friends up there.” So please be careful about any dissing just bc of the personal relationship I have w/ them.

So this morning I opened my eyes, looked at the clock — 6:30. So I’m like “I’ll just sleep like ten more minutes.” Well (and I bet you know where this is going)… next thing you know, it’s 7:15. I slept 45 more minutes—more than four times more than I meant to! Oy!

I gotta go for the jugular: We all know Trump’s title is “Commander in Chief.” But I am starting to sometimes think a more apt (&clever) title for him might be “TWEETER in Chief”. Think about, especially w/ all the tweets he does. (To be clear, his official title won’t change)
